Abstract

The Article provides an insight in the scope of regulation of the Latvian Administrative Procedure Law and the use of e-services and other means of electronic communication in administrative procedure. The scope of regulation of the Latvian Administrative Procedure Law is mainly determined by the definition of an administrative act, which, in turn, is derived from the German administrative law. The adoption and application of the Administrative Procedure Law is generally regarded as very successful example of transformation of the legal system. For the past ten years the government has introduced various e-services and other electronic tools designed to facilitate electronization of administrative procedure. The article outlines basic legal regulation of these tools, as well as gives a short insight towards recent impact of the pandemic of COVID-19 on use of electronic communication between the government and private persons.
